Hopefully, the issue is a blown fuse, in which case, you can check your fuses and make the repair yourself. Otherwise, you may need to take your Audi to the dealership, as convertible top repair often requires the use of factory scans and special tools. Another option is to have a mobile mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, come out to your car’s location to inspect your convertible roof and other electrical components, and recommend the best path to repair.
